Marvel Legends BANSHEE (Mini Comic Wave) Figure Video Review And Images

It's the price point that I filter it all by now. $35-$40 cdn a figure kills it for me.I used to buy whole waves ( the first few Toybiz waves didn't even ring up at $40 for the WHOLE wave!!) but now if a year sees 50 figures I'll pass on 45 of them, and MIGHT buy 3 of what's still interesting. Spending more per, getting less--so I'm getting really choosey and wary. That is NOT a good relationship with a collector.

Banshee's missing mutton-chops deal-broke me on this figure. If they'd swapped the hair style so that his screaming head had the chops, I would have pulled the trigger--because that is his default heroic state.But Hasbro is playing this "game" with collectors and I'm not biting.The asking price-point is now too high and I'm not going to succumb to FOMO. I want specific things and I'm not going to open my wallet until I see them.

Lol. I guess I didn't even realize on of his headsculpts was missing the chops. Unfortunately I did play the game. This is an update that I've wanted forever. But yeah I understand your frustration. It's just another in the long line of things Hasbro has done that feels like they're just doing to mess with us. Just ask fans of Cottonmouth and comic Yelena and Siryn how frustrating it is. Whatever. At least they gave us one where he's actually showing his powers. They know they have us over the barrel on a bunch of this stuff. Maybe they'll update it sometime with a XFI version but how likely is that?

Almost like what they did with Siryn, except she didn't get a screaming head at all. Without that, her powers can't be displayed. Forget flying, forget vocal hypnosis, definitely forget her MAIN POWER- Sonic Scream. Its a shame 'cause it was a nice figure, other than that. I don't get why they do the things they do. Game it is, though, and I applaud you for not playing.

Why does Banshee lose his mutton chops when his mouth is open? It makes the 2 heads inconsistent.

They make some baffling choices, don't they? What they COULD have done, is if they really like that mutton look, have this one with mutton chops for both the resting and "powered" heads, and used the more modern take on the previous "training" outfit, but no. Also instead of this silly plastic tile thing, they should have given Banshee a "sonic effect". I think Mezco did a "radar" effect for their Daredevil sometime back, its really not that hard. I believe this is a custom job here but they could just use clear translucent instead of red, and viola....works for sonic or telepathic effects, I'd say.
